Image processing apparatus, control method and storage medium storing program

摘要

This invention provides an image processing apparatus which can be connected to an information processing apparatus via a communication unit and a control method for the apparatus. The apparatus registers identification information of the information processing apparatus in association with authentication information for authenticating a user. The apparatus acquires, upon reception of a job from the information processing apparatus via the communication unit, the identification information of the information processing apparatus which has transmitted the job and determines whether or not the acquired identification information is registered. The apparatus authenticates the user by using the authentication information registered in association with the identification information when determining that the identification information is registered. The apparatus executes the job when the authentication succeeds.

主权项

1. An image processing apparatus capable of connecting to an information processing apparatus via a communication unit, the apparatus comprising:
a registration unit configured to register identification information of the information processing apparatus in association with authentication information for authenticating a user; a determination unit configured to acquire, upon reception of a job from the information processing apparatus via the communication unit, the identification information of the information processing apparatus which has transmitted the job, and determine whether or not the acquired identification information is registered in the registration unit; a log-in control unit configured to shift the image processing apparatus into a log-in state in which the user can use the image processing apparatus by authenticating the user with the authentication information registered in association with the identification information, in a case where the determination unit determines that the identification information is registered; and a job execution unit configured to execute the job in a case where the log-in control unit shifts the image processing apparatus into the log-in state.
